Forest Energy eNCA interview – 100 Days Without Blackouts
eNCA interview 100 Days Without Blackouts
We were recently featured on eNCA, where we discussed the current state of South Africa's energy sector. Despite a 9% decrease in peak demand compared to last year, we have still seen diesel turbines mitigating stage 2-3 load shedding over the last couple of weeks:
Key points from our interview:
Load Reduction: Limited public data is available on the severity in Johannesburg, with many businesses experiencing prolonged outages due to lack of maintenance of distribution infrastructure.
Electricity Price Crisis: Eskom has applied for an 80% price hike over the next 2 years, this is likely to accelerate Eskom's death spiral as businesses realise it is cheaper to get power from the sun.
Business Owners: Discover potential savings of up to 30% on your electricity expensies with no upfront costs. Sign a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Forest Energy Solutions and get a solar system installed for free.
